David Fane has been announced as the recipient of the 2024 Fulbright-Creative New Zealand Pacific Writer's Residency.
After failing his comedy module at Toi Whakaari Drama School, David went on to establish a career entertaining audiences across New Zealand with his work as a writer, director, actor, and above all, storyteller - all with a comedic flair.
Dave will be known to many by the eclectic characters he's created on stage and screen - including being a founding member of the Naked Samoans, his leading role in Sione's Wedding, and a writer and voice artist with bro'Town.
As part of the residency he'll be living in Hawai'i for three months, while he cultivates a new work.
David speaks to Charlotte.
